Chapter 67: Midnight Promise
Later that night.
Time soon passed, and the whole elf empire was in a jovial mood. On the orders of the queen, food and alcohol were declared free throughout the whole land.
As for the reason? Aelinor claimed that it was to celebrate their win against Charron.
However, the real reason was to give Damien and the others one night of fun before their journey began.
Now, amidst all the laughter and cheers in the kingdom, a faint silhouette sat at the foot of he world tree, a bottle of alcohol in hand, her eyes slightly blurry.
"Hey Lyra, what’s on your mind? The others are dancing and having fun"
"Heck, Isabelle and Leona are having an eating competition as we speak. I’m sure that’s more fun than sitting here alone"
Sitting down beside her, Damien had a slight smile on his face as he handed her a plate of food from the palace.
"Lyra, in the original novel, you were always one who kept your thoughts in your heart"
"Desperate for companionship, desperate for validation, however, now that’s going to change"
"But this time, I’m not letting you go down that path full of loneliness and betrayal!"
Recalling her tragic plot, among all the people he planned to recruit, apart from Isabelle, Lyra was the one he paid most attention to.
